    Mastering Weight Loss: Sustainable Strategies That Stick!

    EP 136: This episode is all about sustainable weight loss tips for your health! You know when you are in the market and you don’t know what to buy? But you want to be “healthy” and you are trying to remember all the opposing things you have seen on IG and Tik Tok. Me too! Do you wonder if there are some tricks and strategies to just get the darn daily protein? How do I cut the sugar? What packaged foods are healthier choices? Want simple tips to refresh your diet? Need a little boost for your midlife health journey? I've got your back! In this episode, I am joined by the inspiring, fun and educational food & weight loss expert, Hunter Stoler. He is a certified health and nutrition coach and the mastermind behind Health With Hunter—a thriving social media platform and brand & a one-on-one (and group) coaching program designed to help you eat clean, get lean, and feel good. I mean what more can you ask for… Hunter’s IG and Tik Tok platforms are off the charts in growth and a healthy addiction. Today, we are digging deep into Hunter’s health and weight loss philosophies that are built around simplicity and sustainability, two things I love to prioritize in midlife. The “weights, the steps, the protein”...Ugh! Hunter’s story is as motivating as it gets. He turned his own health journey of losing 50 pounds into a thriving coaching business, and now he’s here to share his insights with us.  We are getting into everything from his self-transformation in health and entrepreneurship. We talk about how to grow a social media following.This conversation covers the importance of consistency, the role of personalized nutrition, weight loss and practical and sustainable tips for health and wellness in midlife. As Hunter says, “Health is your wealth”.

    Empty Nest Reframe…Yes, you can!

    EP 130: Permission for the “ugly cry” is granted. “midlife mom” mixed with “empty nest” or “half empty nest”, omg! Get ready for a new solo mini-sode where I get into everything empty nest (half empty nest) and “teen son” as I call him is now “college son”. He just left for his sophomore year of college. I’m heading into my second “year of lasts” (last prom, last SAT, last college apps) with “teen daughter”, finishing her last year of high school and I’m trying to stay present for all of it, “hard and good” as I say!  I am digging deep with all of you into my personal journey through the “ugh’s and fabulosities” of parenting in midlife and the transition to an empty nest. I’m still a “half empty nester”. I know you’re feeling it too and I’m here to remind you that you are not alone. Parenting sh** mixed with new feelings of feeling irrelevant. Woosh!     When we enter an “empty nest” era, our mom duties change from “mangager to consultant” and the need for self-reflection, personal growth and humor is necessary. Getting real with you, per usual.  Today, I am giving you practical golden nuggets for navigating this experience! You won’t want to miss this episode, also available on Youtube!
